Good looking card!
Awesome card, can't wait for my Birthday present to arrive so I can rip some packs.
Good Job! 👍
Where is his last name
Glad you got a Padre as the first card. Hopefully I’ll find some tomorrow and get a Ray.
He's fired up for the 2025 season. Let's go Padres!
Great card to start off 2025!
I love the picture. I love Jackson Merrill. Great card.
Always cool when your team is the first card out of the pack!
